Can I hibernate?

Mrs.DeliaMarieP

I've decided that I want to hibernate for the remainder of my pregnancy.  I am happy and thrilled to be pregnant, and have no desire to have her come earlier than expected.  But I am so sick of people staring, asking stupid and rude questions (even though it isn't their intent, it's still annoying to be asked multiple times a day if I'm due any day now and if I'm sure it's not twins), looking appalled when I tell them I still have 5 weeks to go, looking confused when I tell them it's a girl (but you're carrying just like a boy?!).  I wish I was a bear...

Anyone else with me?

Oh I am definitely right there with you. My customers at work are starting to annoying me because they keep asking if I am sure I am not having twins. I don't feel like I am that big so I have no clue what would give them that thought especially since most of them know when I am due. I also can't decide if when I tell people my due date and they respond with "Oh" whether that is good or bad.

I just wish I could stay away from people for the next four weeks so I don't feel so self-conscious.

Me too me too!!! I went to my ob today for my weekly apt and I'm still only a cm dilated and 50 effaced. One side of me thinks that I still have 4 weeks to go possibly until my little one is here. The other side is kicking and screaming because I want to meet him already! I'm getting impatient and along with the other symptoms I'd rather just sleep the next 4 weeks away. Not answer any questions and just be done for a while.

I know how you feel. I constantly have people telling me I'm having a boy because of the way I'm carrying. I tell them it's a girl and we have checked multiple times at multiple different doctor offices and they just look at me funny. So annoying!

I have a coworker (male, no kids of his own) that thinks he knows everything about pregnancy because his now-ex-wife is a pharmacist.  Really not sure how that's correlated, but whatever.  Anyway, he has this theory that baby girls take all of your estrogen and that you therefore look like crap if you're having a girl.  Also, that your nose will spread if you're carrying a girl.  I'm already feeling large and un-sexy these days, do you really need to say anything else?  He's also started calling me "the pregnant one"... I really wish that I had the authority to fire his butt.

Lady - I have a half day left in the office, then my butt is not leaving the couch (okay, that's a dream with a 2-year-old, I know. Shhhh) until next Monday. Maybe I will have had the baby by then?

People aren't being so annoying as my BODY is. Seriously, hemmies, IBS attacks and a general feeling like the baby is going to fall out. So frigging uncomfortable. Gah.

Dude totally! I get the "oh no you're definitely having a boy" comment all the time. What irks me is when I say no.. it's a girl they reply with are you sure? GAH! And the twins comment is getting old too. I mean dude, wouldn't I KNOW if I were having twins by  now? Smh.
